Level of Protection for Areas Designated Protected and Open Space - Ipswich Watershed - Idrisi Raster File.

Summary

Short name: 

GIS_ip30_info_open_protection

Abstract: 

This datalayer is part of a group of layers used for research in the Ipswich River Watershed. This datalayer shows the level of protection for areas that are defined as Protected and Recreational Open Space by MassGIS (www.state.ma.us/mgis). This layer is derived from the Protected and Recreational Open Space layer provided by for each town. The values are from the Level of Protection (lev_prot) field in the data table. To show the what level of protection open space areas in the Ipswich watered are under.

Methodology

Methods: 

1. Download Protected and Recreational Open Space layer for each town in the watershed (www.state.ma.us/mgis)

2 Add each towns ‘osp(#)p1.shp file.

3. Merge individual towns layers into one complete coverage with table for all values.

4. Union open space layer with a layer of MassGIS towns.

5. Convert to grid using “lev_prot” field as value.

6. Extract to IDRISI

7. Reclass back ground values from -9999 to 0.

8. Overlay with inverse mask with a value of 7 outside the study area.

9. Reclass to switch 0 and 7 values.

10. Edit Legend.

11. Save
